Mac: Spark, one of our favourite email apps for iPhone and iPad, has made the jump to Mac. Now you can use all of your custom filters, gestures and smart notifications on your laptop or desktop — and it's still free.

Windows/Mac: If you want to move a file, whether it's a video, ebook, ringtone or whatever else, from your computer to your iPhone, you'd usually need to use iTunes. Waltr allows you to skip iTunes, or skip wires altogether.

These days, the internet is nearly as essential for children as it is for adults. Even ultra-rural public schools are using online apps and collaboration tools to assist in education. If your child is preparing to use the internet for the first time, there are some important ground rules that need to be set for their own well being and safety. Here are ten guiding principles that you should instill in them from the very beginning.

iOS: LowRes Coder is a fun app that lets you craft your low-resolution, pixelated games that resemble arcade favourites of yore. It uses the classic BASIC programming language to bring your games to life.

If you have a contact in your phone who has multiple emails or phone numbers, say for work, home, and cell phone, it's easy to lose track of which number bubbles up to the top when you search for it. How-To Geek points out that you can set up a default number that simplifies this.

One of the relatively unsung new features in iOS 10 is a smarter Photos app that wants to make organising photos less of a chore. Generally, it succeeds at this, but some of its best features aren't evident, or obvious to use. Let's take a look at how to use the new features.

iOS: iOS 10 finally gives some third-party apps access to Siri. While this doesn't include mapping or music apps, which would have probably been the most useful, it does include a bunch of other apps types, including messaging apps. Here's what's working so far.

iOS: Adobe's Lightroom Mobile 2.5 for iOS can now capture high-quality photos in their Digital Negative (DNG) format with the in-app camera. Your iPhone and iPad photos are about to look a whole lot better.

The first thing you'll notice when you boot up iOS 10 is the fancy new lock screen. It's different looking and you might be a bit shocked to see the familiar "Slide to Unlock" is gone. There are plenty of other tweaks too. Don't worry, most of these changes are for the better.

iOS: One of the annoying things about working with text on your phone or iPad is that properly formatting it can be a bother, especially when you're copying and pasting between apps and get line breaks where you don't want them. Clean Text for iOS aims to fix that.

iPad: One of the big appeals of split-screen multi-tasking on the iPad was the ability to write and browse the internet at the same time. However, apps have to get updated to support the feature. Google's finally rolled out updates for Docs, Slides and Sheets to do just that.

Apple's iPad Pro and Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 look a lot alike. Both are big tablets, both connect to slim keyboard covers and both offer a stylus for drawing and note-taking. But after spending some time with these potential laptop replacements, I found that they're really quite different, particularly when it comes to productivity.
